Three Hamilton County officials — General Sessions Judge Gary Starnes, County Mayor Jim Coppinger and District 3 Commissioner Marty Haynes — will be sworn in this morning at the County Courthouse.
The Hamilton County Election Commission certified the Aug. 2 election Thursday, clearing the way for the formal swearing in of the three special election winners.
“We’ll get back to work and stay focused on what we talked about while we were out campaigning,” Coppinger said Thursday afternoon.
Unlike most county general election winners, who are sworn in Sept. 1 or later, special election winners can take their oaths immediately after results are certified, County Attorney Rheubin Taylor said earlier this month.
